About Erika

Erika Harding works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship issues. She is a BACP counsellor with seven years of experience and communicates in English and German. Her tone is warm and straightforward and she aims to make conversations clear and manageable.

Erika provides practical help for grief and loss, intimacy-related concerns and career stresses. She also supports people facing life changes, coping with depression, and difficulties linked to communication or forgiveness.

Background and approach

First responder issues and hospice and end-of-life counselling are additional focus areas she addresses. Sessions are shaped around what the client needs. Erika uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot patterns of thinking that cause distress and to try different ways of responding. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set short-term goals and identify steps that make a difference quickly. Erika adapts the pace and style of sessions to fit people who prefer practical tools or those who need more time to talk things through.

People describe sessions as non-judgemental and tailored, with clear ideas to take away and try between meetings. Erika encourages small, achievable changes and supports ongoing problem solving. She aims to help clients move toward greater self-love and steadier coping in everyday life.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person, helping people feel heard and understood. It is useful for emotional issues like grief, low self-worth and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can help reduce anxiety, manage stress and tackle depressive thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats offer flexibility that can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and work in real time, phone sessions suit those with less bandwidth, live chat provides shorter check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to keep therapy accessible and practical for different schedules and needs.
